Democratize management or manage democracy?

- Abstract
Democratize management. It is the ideal of the Social and Solidarity Economy. It is also, and we know it less, that of «participation» in the Gallic sense of the term. Sociétaires (cooperative shareholders), this term then used by Charles de Gaulle also favourably reasons in the ear of a supporter of the social and solidarity economy. But even in this form, we are often very far from the desired democracy. Democracy dictates that each stakeholder has the same degree of economic information. Giving power to employees, as advocated by Gaullist participation, would be a priority. To do this, the accounting information system must first be reformed. Managing democracy then seems to impose itself! Yes, but how? So we have to go back not to the institutions, but to those who use them, men and women. The manager has a pragmatic vision that can then be useful: A first symposium was organized in 2023, Democracy in Health and User Empowerment in partnership with Cnam-Paris. Sandra Bertezene coordinated a special book of the best management science articles of the 2023 edition that she presents in this issue. A second conference will be held in partnership with Cnam-Paris, adding our Quebec friends, on June 13, 2024 by videoconference. Its program is already established on the theme of the Power to act of users in France and Quebec: sharing knowledge for a greater democracy in health. A book that we will coordinate will be published in 2025, for the 60th anniversary of our journal, The RSG. It will present the selected contributions in all themes that are not «managers» in the strict sense. To democratize management or to manage democracy, we are legitimate in management sciences!
